Penelope The Wretched Lyrics

I saw her riding

In a lonely girl disguise

Make no mistake about this figure

Said a voice down deep inside

She is not what she appears

She is the killer living here

When all the town is sleeping

She is the nightmare that they fear

Penelope the wretched

Is as old as an ancient spell

Though of her there is no record

'Cause she burned them all to hell

Sometimes she takes the form

Of a spider in the web

And she catches little children

And she eats the arms and legs

Penelope the wretched

Had just one enemy

That was worth her dread attention

It was the daughter of the sea

Now the daughter of the sea

She was versed in storm and wave

And she knew about the evil

And she practiced every day

The daughter of the sea

She moved upon the land

And she crawled between the spaces

That were poisoned by the hand

Of the mistress of dead flesh

Penelope the wretched

And the daughter of the sea

Brought a mirror which reflected

The promise that she made

To mankind so long ago

That no flood would kill the land again

And she sealed it with a rainbow

It was a night of lightning red

It was a night of all things dead

It was a curse of all things living

It was a nightmare in the bed

Penelope struck first

And the daughter lost an eye

But the wind came to her aid

And broke Penelope's fuckin' shoulderblade

Then Penelope read a spell

And said all mankind be damned

Let the lovers all gets jealous

Let them die by their own hands

Some say the war's eternal

Some say it has to end

Some say Penelope's weakening

And lover's hearts will mend

I saw her riding

In a lonely girl disguise

Make no mistake about this figure

Said a voice down deep inside

She is not what she appears

She is the killer living here

When all the town is sleeping

She is the nightmare that they fear
